Meg, until I weaned Rylee at 10 months I would ALWAYS breastfed her to sleep - now she is on the bottle, sometimes she will fall asleep at night on the bottle, sometimes it takes me walking around with her on my shoulder to get her to sleep - she wakes less during the night than she did (only usually once) becuase she knows she won't be getting booby anymore. Yeah, it is hard work listening to your bub cry and don't listen to the experts they aren't in your house with a screaming bub and a mum who is dead tired - do what works for you and James - I don't let Rylee get into that hysterical crying anymore because my sanity isn't worth it - your doing the right thing by listening to what your bubs wants, don't doubt your parenting style - you are doing a fantastic job`. All this stuff about bad habits - if the time comes and you wean him and he needs booby you just need to go down another path - you havn't done the wrong thing gotta go, got a whinger on my hands
